Features of the installation of ceiling cornices
It is problematic to carry out any mount on PVC film, requires great attention, caution. The design should be reliable and practical, since it is supposed to hang curtains and curtains on it.
Methods of ceiling mounting cornices
What method of fastening for a stretch structure to choose depends on the quality of the curtains and curtains. In practice, there are two methods of installation:
Mounting on suspended bars.
Invisible mount (hidden cornice).
Determine the type of fastening must be installed before installing the tension structure. If the curtains for suspended ceilings are heavy, it is recommended to choose a hidden type of cornice.
Mounting on suspended bars
The preparatory stage of installation is made before installing the tension structure. The cornice under the stretch ceiling is fixed on pre -prepared suspended bars installed on the concrete surface of the ceiling. For fastening, you will need:
marker or pencil;
wooden bars are slightly less than the distance between the canvas and the surface of the ceiling;
Wooden primer, brush;
polymer rings by the number of bars;
mounting wedges;
Self -tapping screws.
Stage mounting on suspended bars
The appropriate marking of the arrangement of the curtain is applied to the ceiling.
Wooden bars are primed.
On the dowel, according to the marking, it is necessary to attach a laying wooden block. The thickness of the bars should correspond to the distance from the ceiling to the stretch fabric minus a few millimeters. To subsequently adjust the thickness, special mounting wedges are mounted between the ceiling and bars.
The next step is the tension of the canvas on the fixing profiles.
Next, you need to make holes at the place of fastening of the screws in the PVC film. Holes are burned and strengthened with polymer rings.
We fasten the cornice to the stretch ceiling through prepared and reinforced holes.
The technology is quite simple, if all the rules are followed, then the bars will be invisible.
Hidden cornice fastening technology
Installation of a hidden cornice differs from the mounting of the cornice on the bars. But outwardly the design of the room looks much more beautiful. You will need: marker for marking, wooden beam, screws for attaching the cornice and timber.
Installation of the ceiling niche is carried out before installing a suspended ceiling. We mark the location of the cornice on the surface of the ceiling. There can be two options: the niche is made according to the size of the window plus 30 cm on both sides or the entire width of the wall.
We fasten the cornice itself on the dowel on marking on the concrete surface of the ceiling.
Retreating from the cornice, so that the curtains subsequently freely fall, a wooden beam is mounted. In the future, a profile for the canvas is attached to it.
Hidden cornice in a stretch ceiling can be decorated in the form of a ceiling niche from drywall. This is a more complicated option, it will need:
marker for marking;
2860 mm profiles, crate is made.
The niche is sheathed with prepared drywall sheets.
The cornice is mounted inside the niche on screws.
What type of fastening of the ceiling cornice depends on many technical points, such as the size of the room and the height of the ceiling, whether the stretch ceiling was installed or not. The choice of the cornice is affected by the weight of curtains and curtains, the design of the room as a whole.
